(SH + FPGA(MAC, PHY) + RF_mod) / Linux, pthreads, Linkers & Loaders;

夏頃からイイカンジにデスマーチを演出したプロジェクトP3（仮称）が終って，
今度は続きでP4（仮称）をやる事になった． :>
自社製SHボードにFPGAを乗っけて，ソイツに自社IPとして鬼コーディングした
所謂"どっといれぶん"なVHDLマクロでMACとPHYをインプリしつつ，
更に並行して設計が進んでいるRFモジュールをくっつけると言う，
しかもLinuxで動かす気満々な気配． :D
で，その明らかに誰も持っていないチップのデバドラは誰が書くんすか？ :P
[So, I had been beaten by the project P3 since this summer, though.
Then, the project P4 comes, ZOMG. :>
My bosses plan to use our SH board w/ FPGA.
And implement MAC and PHY by using our so-called dot-eleven IP which
is written in VHDL, of course modularized RF part is mandatory.
And then that guys plan to use it w/ Linux, yay! :D
However, who can do code that device driver in spite of there's no one
who has that really rare custom chip? :P]

で，Pthreadsをモニョっている，オラ本で．
APIはPOSIXなので古くても問題無し，中身は何気に結構笑えるポイントがあってイイ感じ． :P
この系統の情報は本の方が良いな，先っぽを追いかけるのも面白いけど．
[BTW, I'm poking Pthreads w/ the O'reilly book
It looks like no problem b/c that API is POSIX-ed.
And that contents have bits of LOL. :P
I'd have to say these thingy needs to be well-documented.
OTOH, ricing has a bit of curios, I knew.]

んで，Linkers & Loadersも読んでいる．
Binaryな野郎を目指していれば，
elf(5)/ld(1)とかのmanページから始めるよりは楽しめると思う． :P
そう言えば，最近，PPC ASMでspammingをされたな． :P
[Well, Linkers & Loaders, I had.
If you're binarian-major, it's quite not worse stuff than man pages of elf(5)/ld(1). :P
BTW, why on the earth does he spam me w/ PPC ASM? :P]

GentooJP.NomiKai++; /* OSC2006 Fall */

と言う訳で，一日だけで800人くらい来ていたOSC2006 Fallでした． :)
以下，簡単な流れとイイ加減なメモ，ど忘れ/勘違いしてるモノもあるかも．

NatsuYasumi, sys-apps/pkgcore, autotools hell, notepad++

と言う訳で，例のブツが取り敢えず終ったので，
10/21から10/29まで夏休み(!?)になりました． :P
で，やること．
[K, I've done t3h thingy.
So, I'll take a week off as summer vacation(!?). :P
Then, here's my TODO in that week.]

1) 2006.1 press releaseを訳す．
2) Xynth on Armadillo-9 w/ Gentoo
3) 実家に顔を出す．
[1) Translate 2006.1 press release to Japanese.
2) Xynth on Armadillo-9 w/ Gentoo
3) Homecoming]

OSCがあるので1)は急ぎ，2)は間に合えば，3)は気が向けば，かな？
[We have OSC at 10/28.
So 1) is critical, 2) is major, 3) is minor.]

#gentoo-dev-helpにてsys-apps/pkgcoreの存在を知る．
[At #gentoo-dev-help, marienz said sys-apps/pkgcore is.]

10/18 01:31:17 hiyuh
    !rdep yacc
10/18 01:31:18 jeeves
    dev-util/yacc <- app-shells/ash dev-libs/tinyq dev-util/cdecl
    mail-client/etpan-ng net-p2p/gtk-gnutella sys-fs/lde
10/18 01:31:35 hiyuh
    !rdep bison
10/18 01:31:38 jeeves
    yikes 30 pkgs reverse rdepend on bison! Try digging around here
    instead. http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/rindex/
10/18 01:31:48 hiyuh
    hmm
10/18 01:43:28 marienz
    hiyuh: what are you trying to do? pquery from pkgcore lets you do
    this kind of search restricted to a category or other things (although
    it's a bit slower than jeeves since it doesn't have an index for it)
10/18 01:58:50 hiyuh
    marienz: I'm thinking about virtual/yacc enhancement. in portage
    tree, there're some YACCs. directly depends dev-util/aycc or so may
    be OK, but sys-devel/bison is mandatory for sys-devel/gcc, IIRC. and
    "bison -y" == "yacc".
10/18 02:00:37 marienz
    hmm, don't know enough about that to help you
10/18 02:00:50 marienz
    pquery --revdep dev-util/yacc --raw should give you a list of stuff
    though :)
10/18 02:01:17 hiyuh
    ok, thanks :)
10/18 02:18:46 hiyuh
    marienz: argh, sys-apps/pkgcore is not ~ppc keyworded, isn't it so
    arch depends? :(
10/18 02:19:02 marienz
    hiyuh: it's pretty new. There's an extremely good chance it will
    just work.
10/18 02:19:43 hiyuh
    ok, i'll try.
10/18 02:19:54 marienz
    hiyuh: (if it fails it'll fail in the c bits, which are fairly well
    tested if you set FEATURES=test)
10/18 02:20:31 hiyuh
    k
10/18 02:28:13 hiyuh
    marienz: looks like "IT JUST WORKS (tm)" :)
10/18 02:28:32 marienz
    hiyuh: yay, guess I should find a ppc arch team member at some point
    to add that keyword
10/18 02:32:56 ChrisWhite|Work
    I'd add it myself if I wasn't ppc (not ~ppc)
10/18 02:46:17 hiyuh
    wow, pquery really rocks...

同じく#gentoo-dev-helpにて，autotoolsの被害者が発生．
[At #gentoo-dev-help too, autotools beat _masterdriverz_.]

10/18 19:30:45 _masterdriverz_
    a package im writing an ebuild for says it requires libxfree86,
    which is a bit ambiguous
10/18 19:31:14 _masterdriverz_
    is it x11-libs/libXxf86dga, x11-libs/libXxf86misc, x11-libs/libXxf86vm
    or something else?
10/18 21:20:59 hiyuh
    _masterdriverz_: on my system "locate xfree86" shows no
    libxfree86.{so,a}, but x11-libs/libXxf86{dga,misc,vm} are
    installed. so guess you need "something else".
10/18 21:21:30 _masterdriverz_
    hiyuh, i think its a debian/rpm package, but im not sure what its
    gentoo name is
10/18 21:22:24 hiyuh
    heh, btw what's that?
10/18 21:25:55 zzam
    _masterdriverz_: it will require some libX11 and more I suspect -
    if it is no very strange package
10/18 21:26:23 _masterdriverz_
    hiyuh, http://vision.eng.shu.ac.uk/mediawiki-1.4.10/index.php/Mimas
10/18 21:26:41 _masterdriverz_
    zzam, ok thanks, looks like ill have to test and find out :(
10/18 21:27:54 zzam
    _masterdriverz_: ignore the text from readme of the package and read
    the text about modular-x-porting
10/18 21:29:13 zzam
    the ebuild seems to have a long list in DEPEND :)
10/18 21:29:14 _masterdriverz_
    zzam, will do, but the README is less than helpful - going through
    configure.in shows it has loads of dependencies that it doesn't list
    in the README :(
10/18 21:29:42 _masterdriverz_
    zzam, err, what ebuild?
10/18 21:30:11 zzam
    the one you are writing
10/18 21:30:18 _masterdriverz_
    ah
10/18 21:31:03 _masterdriverz_
    you had me worried there - im supposed to be writing some unique
    ebuilds in preparation for devship (yay!), and this one's taken me
    ages :(
10/18 21:40:21 hiyuh
    _masterdriverz_: heh, I guess to do "grep -e -lX configure" helps.
10/18 21:40:56 _masterdriverz_
    hiyuh, to be honest, i think its the least of my worries :(
10/18 21:41:26 _masterdriverz_
    this package has tooo many automagic dependencies
10/18 21:41:43 _masterdriverz_
    eg, just found it (might) use libdc1394, but it might not
10/18 21:42:08 hiyuh
    yep, that's so-called autotools hell.
10/18 21:43:21 *
    _masterdriverz_ senses a big patch for the Makefile, and a big smack
    from his cluebat for the author :)
10/18 21:43:53 hiyuh
    maybe, it requires libX{11,ext,mu,t,i}.
10/18 21:44:45 _masterdriverz_
    hiyuh, i think its xine actually
10/18 21:44:48 _masterdriverz_
    :(
10/18 21:44:59 _masterdriverz_
    why can't people come up with sane names for packages?
10/18 21:46:20 hiyuh
    beacause, we like ACRONYM? :P
10/18 21:47:04 _masterdriverz_
    but libxfree86 is just sooo ambiguous its stupid
10/18 21:48:18 hiyuh
    couldn't help, it's just histrical relic. :P
10/18 21:48:23 zzam
    you also can just build it now and analyze the linkage of the binary
10/18 21:49:08 hiyuh
    yep, if you have missing ones, linker will tell some missing symbols.
10/18 21:50:10 _masterdriverz_
    zzam, haven't got that far yet *sigh*
10/18 21:50:31 _masterdriverz_
    i think im gonna commit suicide before i finish src_compile :(
10/18 21:50:52 zzam
    hiyuh: problem is: packages are installed and silently linked against
10/18 21:52:16 _masterdriverz_
    "Please report bugs to jan@wedesoft.de" :)
10/18 21:52:24 hiyuh
    if so, it needs runtime testing, though.
10/18 21:53:18 _masterdriverz_
    there is not _one_ single instance of ./configure checking whether
    i want the option disabled or not
10/18 21:55:49 _masterdriverz_
    hiyuh, zzam, either of you got an example of a decent configure
    script so i can work out how to patch it correctly?
10/18 21:56:12 zzam
    autoconf is crazy
10/18 22:01:24 _masterdriverz_
    err, not the answer i was looking for
10/18 22:01:27 hiyuh
    zzam: agreed.
10/18 22:03:51 hiyuh
    _masterdriverz_: IIRC, dev-manual tells bit of autotools detail.
10/18 22:04:06 _masterdriverz_
    hiyuh, thanks

10/11 20:43:24 sheldonh
    it looks like ebuilds in PORTDIR_OVERLAY look for FILESDIR in the
    main portage tree instead of the overlay?
10/11 20:44:13 sheldonh
    surely i'm wrong? it would mean overlays are effectively a fat waste
    of time for all but trivial ebuilds
10/11 20:48:28 sheldonh
    hmmm, good, i'm wrong
10/11 20:50:24 sheldonh
    what things should i look for when epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PV} picks
    up some patches but not others?
10/11 20:58:27 hiyuh
    hmm?
10/11 20:59:20 sheldonh
    openal's src_unpack() does an epatch ${FILESDIR}/{$PV}
10/11 20:59:25 hiyuh
    "man 5 ebuild" is your friend, see its env var section.
10/11 21:00:45 hiyuh
    $FILESDIR is the overlay's Category/PackageName/files directory,
    if its ebuild is in your overlay.
10/11 21:01:32 hiyuh
    and then, ${PV} is the package's version
10/11 21:01:47 sheldonh
    dude, i so understand this shit :)
10/11 21:01:59 hiyuh
    k, good luck :P
10/11 21:02:05 sheldonh
    the point is, i'm adding a patch and src_unpack() isn't applying it
10/11 21:03:03 sheldonh
    the directory already contains 002_all_alc_context.patch,
    002_all_alsa_default.patch and 003_all_mmx.patch
10/11 21:03:32 sheldonh
    i'm adding 004_pkgconfig.patch (for bug #150872) and src_unpack()
    isn't applying it, and isn't telling me why :)
10/11 21:03:45 sheldonh
    hence the question "what things should i look for when epatch
    ${FILESDIR}/${PV} picks up some patches but not others?"
10/11 21:05:04 hiyuh
    hmm, re-digest cann't help?
10/11 21:06:11 hiyuh
    or, specify all patches explicitly is a ugly work-around way, IMHO.
10/11 21:06:33 sheldonh
    sure, i could uglify it
10/11 21:07:13 sheldonh
    but given how !#$%#$ long it takes devs to commit stuff as it is,
    uglifying contributions isn't a great way to go
10/11 21:07:23 sheldonh
    since that discourages them from commiting
10/11 21:10:40 hiyuh
    sheldonh: hmm, could you mind to do pastebin/rafb your patch?
10/11 21:12:16 hiyuh
    and then, your patch's suffix is really "patch" as speficied by
    EPATCH_SUFFIX?
10/11 21:12:37 sheldonh
    hiyuh: yes
10/11 21:13:24 sheldonh
    hiyuh: http://phpfi.com/162471
10/11 21:16:05 sheldonh
    hiyuh: and yes, the patch is in Manifest after a fresh ebuild
    ... digest :)
10/11 21:18:51 sheldonh
    i think i might just give up, actually
10/11 21:19:05 sheldonh
    it's been a long day, and i'm now pretty sure this is just portage
    being stupid
10/11 21:19:36 hiyuh
    ah, it should be "004_all_pkgconfig.patch".
10/11 21:21:11 sheldonh
    what's the magic _all_ about?
10/11 21:23:26 sheldonh
    hiyuh: ah. apparently undocumented arch-dependent patch feature
10/11 21:23:27 sheldonh
    grrrrr
10/11 21:23:37 sheldonh
    hiyuh: thanks, wouldn't have noticed, i don't think
10/11 21:23:47 hiyuh
    np
10/11 21:24:12 hiyuh
    was already documented. :p
    http://dev.gentoo.org/~plasmaroo/devmanual//ebuild-writing/functions/src_unpack/epatch/
10/11 21:24:45 sheldonh
    sure, everything is documented _somewhere_
10/11 21:25:23 hiyuh
    yeah, and sources will always be with you :P
